What is medication management?

Medication management is an invaluable service if you take medication to manage your physical or mental health. When you come to Nirvana Healthcare Services, Dr. Williams reviews what medications and supplements you take, your dosages, and why you take them. 

Medication management can help you make sure you aren’t taking medications that shouldn’t be taken together. Plus, Dr. Williams can ensure you follow all directions – like taking medications at the same time each day or with food. 

With medication management, you can also be sure that your dosage is appropriate for your needs. Dr. Williams can help you address side effects or switch medications if one becomes ineffective. 

Who benefits from medication management?

You may be prescribed medication for physical or mental health conditions. These medications have different effects on your body. 

Medications can effectively treat:

Anxiety

Anxiety constitutes one of the most prevalent mental health conditions diagnosed today. Medications, such as SSRIs, can help you rebalance and minimize symptoms. 

Depression

Depression can occur as a result of trauma, substance abuse, family history, loneliness, and more. With medication such as antidepressants – or more progressive treatment methods like ketamine therapy – you can find relief. 

Mental health conditions

Mental health medications help regulate your brain’s functioning to reduce symptoms of conditions like depression and anxiety. Addiction treatment also includes medications. 

How does medication management work?

You’ll make regular appointments at Nirvana Healthcare Services to review your medications. These appointments might coincide with prescription renewals. If you’re beginning a new medication, you may have periodic reviews every few months to make sure it’s working as it should and not causing unwanted side effects. 

At any point, Dr. Williams may increase or reduce your dosage, so you get the desired positive effects and minimize any negative ones. She can also help you taper off medications you no longer need. 

Not every medication works the same for each person. Medication management may include some trial and error as you work to address your physical and mental conditions. Dr. Williams works closely with you every step of the way.
